Steering problems rack and pinion changed.
Brakes 3 master cylinder changed.
Brakes still giving problems.
Dealer refused to cover the 3rd master cylinder, but did.
This is a great vehicle. Comfortable, I love the seating change overs, ie into table or bed.
But there is dark side, the brakes fail slowly, then after a month you have no brakes at all.
Even now the brakes are spongy.
The steering is the other major issue, I changed a rack and pinion already.
The dealers are at a loss with the brake problem, even Nissan's tech support can't find the problem.
I bought a quest in 2001 it is a 1997 I have not had any major problems except having to change the braks last september 2002 the only other thing I got to say about it is that I wish I could have gotten it in a differnt color like black or gold, but I'm happy with it.
Brakes...Brakes...Brakes! My 1999 Quest has been a great vehicle except for the brakes. First set lasted for 32,000 miles, 2nd set went for 16,000 miles, 3rd set (Nissan replaced at no charge...thanks) for 8,000 miles, 4th set went 15,000 miles, just put the 5th set on. Also, is there a set of tires out there that will get me more than 22,000 miles on them before needing to be replaced? No, I do not race this thing around on the short track.
Got a '97 Quest GXE. It got about 180,000 miles. It will start after jump starting the battery. Runs okay, but problem comes when I turned off the engine or turned the ac on, the van just quit running. Jump started it again, the van starts good, same thing happened again when I cut the engine and restart it again, or when it was still running, and I will turn the ac on, van will just quit.
Anyone got the same problem? Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks.
Looks like your battery is completely useless and the generator is pretty shot, too.
Change both.
